My final thread to my PC components!

[richyk1]

Soo.. I recently started to put the computer parts im going to buy in amazon uk. I was researching and looking for components both performance and budget wise. I'm about to buy all my parts, but I want to check again if everything is compatible, will fit inside etc.

For all those who are quite smart at these compatibility issues and good at know which part goes with that etc. Can you tell me if it will all fit together, fit ?

Also if possible, can I know what framerates I can get in modern games like Battlefield 4, Assasins Creed 4 and such, at 1920x1080 (1080p) AA=off Details=High

Thanks!

I don't see a parts list there. If it's an embedded graphic, my apologies; don't mind me, I'm at work and most image hosts are blocked.

You're good. He didn't list the components.

Richy, can you list the components you've chosen?

I updated the thread, very sorry

It's a pretty solid build. I'm going to assume you plan on overclocking. If so, I would change the motherboard to something a little better with a better power phase design. It's only a few more pounds.

Nothing there screams out to be replaced. You might save a small amount on an alternate 120mm direct-touch cooler, but that's a niggle. The performance of all of them is similar (in particular depending on the fan used), but competitors like NZXT have models that are less expensive than the more frequently parroted Hyper212 EVO.

Thats a good budget system. You can expect medium settings on almost all games, maybe high a a few less demanding. But that motherboard is not very good for overclocking the cpu on, and id actually recomend not overclocking on that motherboard. The board itself doesnt offer very good cooling on the vital power management areas, so when you overclock your adding voltage and the board cannot dissipate the heat fast enough to prevent overheating and possible frying.

If you wanted to overclock the asus asus 99fx pro board is the board you want. But that board is around $140
s, so id just plan on not overclocking for now, plus overclocking on amd in general doesnt really give you noticable performance gains. Trust me, i have teh 8350, overclockd it like a champion, spent well over $500 on custom water to cool it, and mild performance gains. More for cosmetics and braging rights.

But otherwise, everything looks well.

According to the spreadsheet at https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AgN1D79Joo7tdE9xMUFlMEVWeFhuckJEVF9aMmtpUFE&gid=4 that motherboard is suitable for his CPU, and should permit decent overclocking since it is rated for higher wattage chips and has heatsinks on its VRMs. The "LE" version of that motherboard lacks the heatsinks.

While it is recommended for overclocking by the Overclock.net group, it still has a 4+2 power phase design. Which is ok nothing bad but average. The Gigabyte UD3P has an 8+2 power phase design and it's only 3 pounds more.

That sounds like only a few beers at the local pub; I'd probably get the Gigabyte too then.

Well I have a few friends that would disagree. But to me, £3 ($5) isn't a deal breaker.
